TOPPENISH -- Photographs of Native Americans from Oregon and Washington are featured in a new exhibit at Heritage University.
"Festive Gatherings: Tribal Life on the Columbia Plateau, 1952-1957" is compiled from the J.W. Thompson Collection. The exhibit is on loan from the Maryhill Museum, which received the archive from the photographer's daughter, Lucille Munz, in 1997.
It will be on display in the Helen Jewett Center on the university's campus, 3240 Fort Road in Toppenish, through Oct. 31. The center is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
The exhibit is brought to Heritage through a National Endowment for the Humanities grant, under the "We the People" project. The grant funds speakers, exhibits and faculty trainings -- all designed to boost teaching and learning in the areas of American Indian studies and Hispanic literature at Heritage University.
